Crowdsourcing: ExploraVision

ExploraVision is very much an example of crowd sourcing. Crowdsoucing is using a crowd or community of people to get information and then using it for a service, or product, or business. ExploraVision is an anual competition where students around the nation submit an product idea to become a real life product. The students provide a full blown report from materials need to what the invention does. Then, Toshiba and NSTA make it a reality. They are using students inventions to sell, and in return, the winning student gets some profits. Here are some websites with more information on ExploraVision: ExploraVision Site Wiki
